Not only was she informative and knowledgeable, but also incredibly engaging and entertaining! The size of the group ended up being no issue at all, and even though it was an incredibly cold and icy night – everyone in the group seemed to have a great time. We learned a lot, and will definitely recommend this to friends!”
